Geosensing Engineering and Mapping
The mission of the Geosensing Systems Engineering (GSE) program is to strive for national and international excellence in geosensing through research and graduate education in remote sensing. GSE offers a new multi- disciplinary graduate program to achieve these objectives. Students with a B.S. degree can be admitted to Ph.D. program and can select approved courses from 9 Departments at UF as a part of the graduate program which provides unique research opportunities in remote sensing technologies as applied to geo-surficial processes.
